4 tablespoons cup Butter
1 tablespoon Extra-virgin olive oil
2 Shallots, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
1 1/2 cups Arborio Rice
1.5 - 2lbs Lobster Tails
1/3 cup Vermouth
3/4 cup grated Parmesan
3 tablespoons Heavy Whipping Cream
Freshly ground black pepper
8 cups Lobster Stock
6 tablespoons Flour

In a medium pot, heat the stock and keep warm. Place 1 1/2 cups of the lobster stock in a separate small pan. In a small jar place 3/4 cup of the warm lobster stock and 6 tablespoons of flour, place lid on jar and shake until flours is well incoproated into the stock. Add this to the 1 1/2 cup lobster stock and bring to a light boil and whisking until no lumps if any. Continued simmering to reduce to a thick light brown sauce. Keep warm. Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the lobster tails and boil for 7-8 minutes until the shells curl and the lobster meat turns white. Drain, transfer to a cutting board, and cool for 15 minutes. Using kitchen shears or a sharp knife, cut through the top shell lengthwise. Remove the meat and cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Set aside In a large, wide saucepan, melt the butter in the oil over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and sauté until slightly brown, about 4-6 minutes. Add the rice and cayenne pepper stir constantly for about 2 minutes. Add vermouth and stir for 1 minute. Next add 1 cup of broth and simmer, stirring until the broth is almost absorbed. Add more broth, a cup at a time, allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding the next. Stir often. Cook until the rice is tender and the mixture is creamy, 20 to 25 minutes. Stir in parmesan, 2 tablespoons butter, whipped cream, pepper along with 1/2 more cup of the lobster stock and stir, adding more stock if needed to make it creamy. Add the lobster meat to heat for 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
